Will It Be Possible To Live Forever?

Many people claim that with the advent of modern pharmacies and medical technology, it will be eventually possible to live forever. This is, of course, a very interesting ideas to us humans. But I do not believe that it will happen

It is true that the scientists have made an amazing progress in medical and pharmacy technology over the past decades. They have invented many new kinds of surgery techniques, pharmacy, and medical technologies that has decreased amounts of deaths by diseases, and extend the people's lifespan. In fact, they have eliminated most of the once deadly diseases in the 20th centuries like Polio, Smallpox, and etc. They even have developed a technique called Cryonics to preserve humans and animals that can't be sustained by modern medicines with hopes that healing and resuscitation will be possible in the future.

But we should remember that an eternal life will never be possible. Even with all the advances of the medical technologies, there is still no way for scientists to invent a method to prevent a person from dying, and the efforts to achieve clinical immortality has raised several medical, philosophical, and religious issues and ethical questions. Also, even though that most of the major religions in world do believe about afterlife, but there is no such thing about physical immortality in their beliefs.

To conclude, I would say that physical (Biological) immortality is not going to be possible. Even with all the advances of the medical technology, we are still not able to achieve what is called "immortality" and probably we won't ever be. And besides, it has been stated by God that everything will die before then resurrected in the afterlife. So, it's safe to believe that immortality is not going to be likely to happen.
